The Ganges River, revered by millions as a sacred water body, suffers from alarming levels of pollution, mainly due to industrial effluents, sewage discharge, and religious offerings. Despite its cultural significance, the river's contamination poses significant health hazards to both humans and aquatic life. Various governmental and non-governmental organizations have launched initiatives to clean up the Ganges, including sewage treatment plants and awareness campaigns. However, the magnitude of pollution and the complex socio-economic factors involved make restoring the river's health a daunting task.
